The castle was first mentioned in 1282 in the possession of the Lords of Andeck and described in 1624 as a ruin. In 1402 cisterns, two-storey buildings and gates were preserved from the multi-unit castle complex. Nowadays even from the ruin is not much to see ...

Andeck Castle is the ruin of a spur castle at 780.1 m above sea level. NHN high southeast mountain spur of 820 m above sea level. NHN high Farrenberg near Talheim, a district of Mössingen in the Tübingen district in Baden-Württemberg.
The castle was first mentioned in 1282 in the possession of the Lords of Andeck and described as a ruin in 1624. In 1402, cisterns, two-story buildings and gates were still preserved from the multi-part castle complex. The main castle was separated from an inner, middle and outer outer bailey by ditches. In 1970 the shield wall was uncovered, on the southern side of which the remains of a round tower, probably the keep, can be seen. Every year on Whit Monday, the Andeckfest of the Talheim local group of the Swabian Alb Association takes place at the foot of the mountain spur.
